Intel Xeon E5-2620 vs Intel Xeon E5-2670 v2

Xeon E5-2620 vs Xeon E5-2670 v2 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2670 v2 beats the Xeon E5-2620 in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2620 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2670 v2 has significantly more cores than the Xeon E5-2620. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2670 v2 has 10 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Xeon E5-2620. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2620. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2670 v2 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2620. Also, the Xeon E5-2670 v2 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E5-2620 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2670 v2 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2620 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
